The Cork Oak.

The growth of cork oak in California
is not a matter of experiment; its sue.
cess was demonstrated long ago. The
distribution of cork-acorns by the Pat
emit Office about twenty-five years ago
may not have accomplished much in
other parts of the country, but 1t gave
us a start, and there are now trees
yielding cork and bearing acorns at a
number of different places in the State.
There are trees growing on Mr. Rich
ardson's place at San Gabriel. There
were samples of cork and acorns shown
at the Sacramento Citrus Fair by II. A.
Messenger, of Calaveras County, there
are trees Of similar age in Sonoma.
Santa Barbara and Tulare. and perhaps
other counties. The State University
is growing seedlings from California
cork acorns, and will be likely to have
the trees for distribution next year.
There is no doubt about the adaptation
of the tree to the State as the widely
separated places named above all furn-
ish proper conditions for its growth. 1t
is OF course crop of which one has to
wait some time TO gather. and there.
fore needs patience in the planter.
All the corkwood of commerce comes
from the Spanish Peninsula, where the
trees abound not only in cultivated
forests but also grow wild on the
mountains. The tree is like an Ameri-
can oak, with leaves similar to the
oak and acorns. 1t takes ten years
for the bark to become a proper thick
ness to be manufactured into bottle
shoppers, life preservers and seine
corks. When stripped from the tree
it is to be boiled for two hours, cured
in the sun for week and pressed into
fiat pieces for bailing and shipping.
The denuded trunk, like a hen robbed
of her eggs. does not sulk and quit the
business, but throws out fresh cover
ing for afresh spoliation. The tree has
been known to yield half ton of cork
wood. One pound of cork can be
manufactured into 14f champagne
corks. The baled cork bark is sold to
cork manufacturing centres. The most
extensive mandatory in America is al
Pittsburg. Besides the ordinary de-
mands for cork bark, good supply O
the buoyant material, after being burn
ed, to make it still lighter than tn,
original bark. is shipped to Canada ant
New England, where it is made into
seine corks. The average annual I'M
portation of corkwood into this
country, entirely at the port of New
York, is 10000 bales year. A bale
weighs 100 pounds, and is worth
on this side of the water 800 making
a total value of the importations Of
81, 100000 1t comes in duty free.-

The Luck OF the stage.

The story Of the play of "Jim the PEN
man." is almost as interesting as the play
itself. Sir Charles Young, the author, had
the play rejected by every manager In Lon
don, but having great faith in IT gave a
trial performance at great expense before an
audience Of professional people. The YER
diet was at will not CO." In June, 1886,
Mr.. Bashford, Of the Haymarket Theatre,
the most fashionable in London, concluded
to try "Jim" while preparation were being

teresting than "Fedora." The play ran fol
over three hundred nights.

A man can build II mansion,
And furnish II throughout;
A man may build palace,

A man can build a temple,
With high and spacious dome,
But no man 10 the world can build
That precious thing called Home.

Where brothers, sons and husband, tired,

porter was told that Mr.. Van .,)ole had
offered to the publishers of til ltgazipe
a novel entitled "Princess n nahal,n
which he claimed to have tral,', ed from
the original manuscript in his ,'''session.
The reason given that the stoI, lad not

and that as this individual had Gently
died, its publication was until now Unsafe.

by the denial that several books published
with Mr.. Vanderpoole's name attached rs

at the time, was followed to Oyster Bay and
was told that he must produce the original
| MS. from which he claimed to have made
the translation, or abide the consequences.
| He then admitted that the Ms. was not In

the novel from memory. When asked
questions In French he said he preferred to
talk In English and did not seem to be able
to understand French.
